A wonderful traditional folk song! I've only heard the Dubliners' cover, here it is!Capo 5th fret.CFCAm As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair,CFCG to view the salt waters and take the salt air,FC I heard an old fisherman singing a song,GCG 'Oh take me away boys, me time is not long'.CHORUSCGCWrap me up in me oilskins and jumpers,FCGno more on the docks I'll be seen.FCJust tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip, mates,GG7Cand I'll see you some day on Fiddler's Green.CFCAm Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell,CFCG where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell.FC Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play,GCG and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away.CHORUSCFCAm Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale,CFCG and the fish jump on board with one swish of their tail.FC Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do,GCG and the skipper's below making tea for the crew.CHORUSCFCAm When you get back on docks and the long trip is through,CFCG there's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there, too.FC Where the girls are all pretty and the beer it is free,GCG and there's bottles of rum growing from every tree.CHORUSCFCAm Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me,CFCG just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea.FC I'll play me old squeezebox as we sail along,GCG with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song.
